Sany STC1300C8-8

The Sany STC1300C8-8 is a versatile 130-ton hydraulic truck crane designed to handle a wide range of heavy lifting tasks efficiently. Built on a robust five-axle chassis, the crane combines strong lifting performance with excellent mobility, making it suitable for both urban and off-road job sites. With an overall length of 16,680 mm, a width of 3,000 mm, and a height of 4,000 mm, the STC1300C8-8 is engineered for stability and ease of transport.

The crane’s main lifting capability is provided by a five-section telescopic boom that extends from a base length of 14.2 meters to a maximum of 85.5 meters. With the addition of optional jib extensions, the total lifting height can reach up to 115.1 meters, allowing the crane to handle tasks that require both reach and precision. The crane’s maximum lifting moment is impressive, reaching up to 4860 kN·m with the main boom and 529.2 kN·m when configured with the full extension and jib, enabling it to manage heavy loads with ease.

The STC1300C8-8 is powered by a Yuchai YCK11430-60 engine, delivering 316 kW (425 HP) at 1900 rpm and a torque of 2100 Nm at 1100-1500 rpm, complying with National VI emission standards. The engine ensures robust and reliable performance across various terrains, supported by a 58-liter fuel efficiency rate when driving at 50 km/h. This is paired with a secondary Dongkang QSB5.9C54 220C engine that powers the superstructure, producing 154 kW (208 HP) at 2200 rpm, and delivering a torque of 820 Nm at 1600 rpm, ensuring smooth crane operations.

The STC1300C8-8’s chassis features a 12x6x8 drive configuration, offering driven and steerable axles for enhanced maneuverability. The crane has a maximum travel speed of 85 km/h, with a turning diameter of 12 meters, allowing it to navigate through tight job sites. Its maximum gradeability of 50% ensures it can handle steep inclines, while the suspension system with independent controls and hydraulic lockout provides stable operation during lifting tasks. The crane’s outrigger span is 8.3 meters longitudinally and 7.55 meters laterally, offering a solid base for lifting stability.

The hydraulic system of the STC1300C8-8 is designed for efficiency and precision. It incorporates a multi-variable hydraulic control mechanism that enables smooth and coordinated movements of the boom, jib, and other crane components. The system allows for a wide range of lifting speeds, with a main hoisting speed of 135 m/min and telescoping speeds ranging from 740 seconds to 760 seconds depending on the boom configuration (14.2 meters to 85.5 meters). The crane is also equipped with advanced safety features, including electronic load monitoring, limit switches, and hydraulic safety locks, ensuring secure and reliable operations.

The STC1300C8-8 offers excellent flexibility through various configurations, including an optional 29.2-meter jib extension. This can be fitted at multiple angles to suit different lifting scenarios, and the jib attachments are designed to enhance the crane’s operational versatility. The crane supports a variety of hook blocks, such as 8- and 5-sheave configurations, providing a range of lifting capacities and operational setups. The main hook block allows for lifting weights up to 250 kg, while the auxiliary block supports weights up to 585 kg, allowing for precise handling of various loads.

The operator’s cab is ergonomically designed for comfort and functionality, featuring an adjustable seat, intuitive control layout, and a comprehensive display panel that provides real-time feedback on operational parameters. The cab is equipped with large windows for enhanced visibility, and additional features like air conditioning, heating, and safety monitoring systems improve operator comfort during long shifts.

With a total weight of 54,990 kg, distributed across five axles (20,354 kg on the first two axles and 34,636 kg on the last three), the Sany STC1300C8-8 is well-balanced, ensuring stability during travel and lifting operations. The crane’s structure is designed to facilitate ease of transport and quick setup, making it efficient for projects that require frequent relocation.

Overall, the Sany STC1300C8-8 is a reliable and powerful hydraulic truck crane that combines strong lifting capabilities, advanced hydraulic systems, and versatile configuration options. Its robust design, ease of operation, and high mobility make it an excellent choice for diverse lifting projects, including construction, industrial maintenance, and infrastructure development.
